Someone Please help me!!!

I have burning sensations in the bottoms of both feet, a nagging tingling that started in the feet is now in my legs and in my arms & hands. Pinprick test revealed little feeling in feet & legs. The feeling in the feet is like they are asleep. The neurologist said that I walk funny but offered no diagnosis. I've had TMJ since the early 1980's. I have cognitive issues, loss of bladder control, tremors that become uncontrollable in extreme cold. I've had multiple bouts of optic neuritis, a change in my hand writing and have had several bouts of execerbation. Things wax and wane. My head moves in a yes, yes pattern. I have difficulty standing & walking for extended times. I tire easily and my legs feel heavy. I have deep muscle pain in both arms. Lifting a gallon of milk is very hard for me, it shakes uncontrollably. My hips are very painful especially when laying down. If I sit for a long time I have a difficult time getting up. Heat saps my energy! Can you help me? I have seen several neurologist, one said it must be MS. The next said no way. One said essential tremor but said that ther was more to it than that. I also have parethisis in the upper portion of the left thigh. I hand a bilateral nerve entrapment release for both legs 11 years ago. I am so confused and need help. Please!

have you been tested for wilsons disease?

Hi there. Did the neurologist test you for multiple sclerosis? MS is a chronic demyelinating disorder where the disease phase is characterized by active phase and remissions. It has multiple symptoms and signs and is a diagnosis of exclusion. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are loss of balance, muscle spasms, numbness in any area, problems with walking and coordination, tremors in one or more arms and legs. Bowel and bladder symptoms include frequency of micturition, urine leakage, eye symptoms like double vision uncontrollable rapid eye movements, facial pain, painful muscle spasms, tingling, burning in arms or legs, depression, dizziness, hearing loss, fatigue etc. The treatment is essentially limited to symptomatic therapy so the course of action would not change much whether MS has been diagnosed or not. Apart from clinical neurological examination, MRI shows MS as paler areas of demyelination, two different episodes of demyelination separated by one month in at least two different brain locations. Spinal tap is done and CSF electrophoresis reveals oligoclonal bands suggestive of immune activity, which is suggestive but not diagnostic of MS. Demyelinating neurons, transmit nerve signals slower than non-demyelinated ones and can be detected with EP tests. These are visual evoked potentials, brain stem auditory evoked response, and somatosensory evoked potential. Slower nerve responses in any one of these is not confirmatory of MS but can be used to complement diagnosis along with a neurological examination, medical history and an MRI in addition, a spinal tap. Therefore, it would be prudent to consult your neurologist with these concerns. Hope this helps. Take care
